Mike Duffy, a 24-year-old Pequannock native, along with his college buddy John Herman of Long Island, started last week on a series of what they are calling "ironman challenges" that involve bicycling, swimming and walking.



The two men hope to raise $15,000 through the journey to build 35 sustainable fresh water wells in the southeastern African country. The money will also provide 100 biosand filters to families and schools in Cambodia, Duffy said.



Before starting out, Duffy said he spent six weeks volunteering at a mission for special needs children in Cambodia. The walking, biking and swimming challenge began in earnest on Jan. 10.

The duo started in Phetchaburi, a Thailand/Singapore peninsula, with the goal of completing the equivalent of 12 ironman challenges. They plan to finish in Phnom Penn, Cambodia sometime before the end of April and the start of the rainy season.
